Thanks Jack


I saw this picture on Facebook and got a good chuckle out of it. And Jack must have a Facebook account, because I posted it last night and for some reason this morning (Saturday) he woke at 5:45 am, which he hasn't done in years. He marched into my room, angrily yelled "MOMMY!!", then demanded that I come sleep in his bed (much like the other weekend morning when he screamed, MOMMY you need to GET UP and feed me NOW!!!" But that was at a much more sane time of 9:00).  My first thought after looking at the clock was that I was worried that I wouldn't be able to fall back to sleep, because usually if something wakes me up it takes me hours to get back to sleep. But really it didn't matter because when I climbed in next to him he just rolled around and talked to me for the next hour until I finally decided to throw in the towel and go downstairs. Thank goodness we didn't have a crazy night out last night. Now if he would just get his days straight and do this sort of thing Monday through Friday when he has to be ready for the school taxi at 7:40 am we would be all set, but instead I am dragging him (and Ava) out of bed kicking and screaming and crying and yelling at me about how I am the meanest Mommy ever for making him wear the clothes that he picked out the night before. Ah, the joys of motherhood!!
